MovieClip 485
Parameters
url : String
- The absolute or relative URL of the SWF or JPEG file to be loaded. A relative
path must be relative to the SWF file at level 0. Absolute URLs must include the protocol
reference, such as
http://
or
file:///
.
method : String
[optional] - Specifies an HTTP method for sending or loading variables. The
parameter must be the string
GET
or
POST
. If no variables are to be sent, omit this parameter.
The
GET
method appends the variables to the end of the URL and is used for small numbers
of variables. The
POST
method sends the variables in a separate HTTP header and is used for
long strings of variables.
Example
The following example creates a new movie clip, then creates child inside of it and loads a
PNG image into the child. This allows the parent to retain any instance values that were
assigned prior to the call to
loadMovie
.
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.onRelease = function():Void {
trace(this.image._url); // http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main.png
}
var image:MovieClip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image",
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
image.loadMovie("http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main.png");
